Petition

San Francisco, Calif., Sept. 1915

Hon. Wm. Spry,

Governor of Utah.

The undersigned believe that there is a strong doubt as to the guilt
of Joseph Hillstrom, under sentence of death in the Utah Penitentiary.

We hereby respectfully petition you to commute his sentence to life
imprisonment, to the end that Hillstrom, if innocent, may have a fair chance
to prove his innocence.

P. E. Edstrom
507 Mission St
San Francisco
